A beautiful new day awaits
atop the next peak,
new treasures to find there,
cherished memories to keep.

Life and death are temporary
but freedom goes on forever,
we only need to truly believe
skies become bright in stormy weather.

Hold on to those hopes and dreams,
look for the sun in all your days,
love and be true to yourself...
God works in mysterious ways.
